RACE REPORT2016 Regional and Road Championships

This years combined Regional and Road Championships was destined to be the biggest field that we had ever put together for this race. The Southern Combine clubs of Southern Masters, Mornington, Carnegie Caulfield, Melbourne Cycling League and ourselves at Blackburn collaborated to get over 200 Riders on the road across 3 different courses. We catered for Elites, juniors and Masters ranging from Masters 1 through to Masters 12 (85 years +), no small feat that took a lot of collaboration.

The one thing we couldn’t control was the weather and it turned out to be coldest day at this time of year in over decade. A cold front linking up the tropics brought the rain that didn’t let up unfortunately. Most riders were not deterred and we still had strong fields across the categories. We only had 2 non-starters in the juniors where we had 7 nonstarters in Masters 2 alone, so it really shows the commitment of our juniors.

The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive from those riders that did race, despite the conditions. All riders came back in one piece and the competition was fierce, because only the toughest ride in the rain. Our club members fared very well across the categories with Tarun Cook (JM13), Harry Morgan (JM17), Jie Li (Mas 1), Doris Marr (WMAS5) taking out both the Regional and Club Champs and in the other categories the Club Champs are Lauren Fitzgerald (JG13), Johnathon Marr (JM15) Tim Renowden (Mas 2) , Cameron Senese (Mas 3), Rob Monteath (Mas 4), David Gallagher (Mas 5), Brian McGowen (Mas9), Paula McGovern (WMAS4), Tom Leaper (Elite). Full results can be found here.

These events are also not possible with a small village of people giving up their time to help out, whether before, during or after the event. Without them it just doesn’t happen so thank you to all the volunteers for your ongoing commitment to the sport and the club.
